NVIDIA/AMD Still Reportedly Working On Mir Drivers

Phoronix: NVIDIA/AMD Still Reportedly Working On Mir Drivers

During the first day of the latest virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit, there were some brief remarks made concerning the state of the NVIDIA and AMD Catalyst binary drivers in supporting the Mir Display Server for Ubuntu...

Comment

I'd wait for them to support Wayland. If they can share drivers that would be ideal, but EGL drivers aren't known to be generic and are usually tied to the display server, unless Mir and Wayland would coordinate the efforts it can result in even further sick drivers fragmentation.

Comment

I thibk basicly the drivers for Mir and Wayland compositors are the same but in detail they (with they I mean NVIDIA) will support only one.
But they will gain more money supporting workstations that running a Wayland compositor.
